I think the crafts are a nice addition to the book. I've never seen Educational Insights offer crafts with their products, so I was pleasantly surprised when I came across this product. My 5-year old daughter (who this was meant for) doesn't like books as much as my 7-year old daughter, so the crafts were a nice way for her to get interested in the book. I didn't rate it 5 stars because I would have liked to see more "meaty" crafts to keep her occupied a little longer. She decorated the picture frame and the jewelry box pretty quickly. Also, I don't know if Educational Insights only sells them individually. It would be nice if they sold a quantity of 24 at a discounted rate to use at a birthday party (if they included more substantial crafts).

Fun craft

We enjoyed reading the book and doing the crafts. The jewelry box was a bit small but still held a few trinkets.

Received Product as part of the Educational Insights EI Insiders Program...

We have a few of the "Once Upon a Craft" sets, and this one is actually a story that I wasn't actually familiar with myself. The illustrations by Red Hansen are charming, with almost a Fred Rogers feel (maybe the King just reminds me of King Friday) to them, and the telling of the story by Denise Heyl McEvoy is easy for young readers to follow. On the craft front, the frame and box were both a fun morning project, but as with most crafts tackled by a 4 & 7 year old here, they're not built to last (but I wouldn't tell the girls that!).

Comments about Educational Insights Once Upon a Craft The Princess and the Pea Storybook with Craft Kit:

I've always been a fan of the story, and since it's not well know it's great to see it making a comeback for kids. The crafts are really easy for my 6 year old, but the challenge for her was reading the book so it was a nice mix. A great gift idea and the book has been in our rotation for a while now.

My 5 year old daughter enjoyed reading the story and making the crafts afterwards. The crafts themselves are very basic. A foam picture frame and cardboard jewelry box with adhesive stickers and gems. It didn't take long for her to complete the crafts.

Comments about Educational Insights Once Upon a Craft The Princess and the Pea Storybook with Craft Kit:

What a neat idea! This is great and my 4-year-old loved it. The crafts portion includes quality pieces and my daughter was able to complete them with little to no assistance - which she loved, as most will at this age. They've held up nicely, too! Huge bonus. The story was sweet, too. We love to give books as gifts and this just brings it up a notch with the crafts. This will be a go to gift for our preschool and kindergarten friends!

Comments about Educational Insights Once Upon a Craft The Princess and the Pea Storybook with Craft Kit:

My five year old daughter enjoyed this kit. It's pretty simple to put together both crafts. She was able to do them completely on her own in just a few minutes. The book is cute and well made. She definitely will enjoy the book for a longer period of time than the craft sets which are very easy and made of pretty cheap materials. This is great for a rainy weather activity but don't have high expectations of it lasting long or taking more than twenty minutes to read the book and assemble the crafts.

Comments about Educational Insights Once Upon a Craft The Princess and the Pea Storybook with Craft Kit:

This is a fun, mess free craft that my kids (ages 3 and 5) enjoyed. The book was just the right length. The stickers were easy for the kids to peel and stick on their own and they had fun decorating the frame and the box. The packaging box opens and closes easily and is great for travel use. The box craft was also fun to play with afterwards, and my kids enjoyed putting their play jewelry in there. This product kept them busy for a long time. I was given this product in exchange for an honest review.

Comments about Educational Insights Once Upon a Craft The Princess and the Pea Storybook with Craft Kit:

This is a cute toy and craft, but I think my 5.5 year old daughter was a bit old for it as she was done fairly quickly. I think it is probably more appropriate for a 3-4 year old. The book is great for a beginning reader. I also think the price point is fair.
